Philips PerfectCare 6000 Series

Your Philips Steam Generator should be placed on a suitable ironing board. When you try to place your Philips Steam Generator on your regular steam iron board, you may find that it is not suitable as it does not have the proper side tray for your steam generator’s base.

In this situation, we recommend the following options:

• Change to an ironing board suitable for a steam generator
• Place your steam generator’s base on the side of the board, not on the side tray
• Place your steam generator’s base on the floor or on a table.

As your Philips Steam Generator is equipped with OptimalTemp technology, then it is ok for it to stay on the board all the time. It will not damage the ironing board cover.

Your Philips steam generator iron or garment steamer has been designed to be used with tap water. However, if you live in an area with hard water, fast scale build-up may occur.

Therefore, to prolong the lifespan of your Philips steam generator iron or steamer it is recommended to use distilled or demineralised water (50% demineralised water mixed with tap water could be used too).

Please do not use perfumed water, water from the tumble dryer, vinegar, starch, descaling agents, ironing aids, chemically descaled water or other chemicals as they may cause water spitting, brown staining or damage to your Philips Steam Generator.

Whether you can refill your Philips steam generator's water tank during use depends on the series. Read more about this here.
